Calorie Counter (Finished)

This is my un-finished calorie counter For now, I have used drop down lists, sums, vlookups and if statements. Although it isn't alot of work finished, I hope to release the finished version soon. Hopefully in a couple of weeks or so.

F.A.Q. (Frequently Asked Questions)

What..
If person eats junk all day?
If a person eats junk food and/or candy (Chocolate, normal candy etc), then the calorie counter would be able to detect what kinds of fatty food they're currently eating and then it would tell them to eat less calories if they excessively eat that type of food. They may be a little bit sad if the calorie counter shows them that they have a high amount of a daily calorific intake.

Is the calorie intake?
It generally depends on the amount of food they eat, as well as the type of food they eat. For example, if someone eats a high fat meat for dinner, crisps for lunch and tea with a lot of sugar, with no questions asked, there would be a high number in the calorie intake box per day. I'm hoping to add an option requesting them if they want to know how many calories they take in a month, year etc.

What if a female eats the same food as a male?
Generally, males are born to eat more food and receive more calories than females. Females are supposed to receive lesser calories than men. It's general science, so if a female eats the same food as a male, then supposedly they are eating wrong at times. Females have lighter diets than men, so the female shouldn't have the heavy diet an average man would usually have every day or so.

How..

Is their BMR affected (the required calories)?
Their BMR is affected by their current diet. If they have a high fat diet for example, then the BMR would definitely be a lower number than their current calorie intake. And vice versa. If someone had a very low fat diet and not getting enough calories in their body, then the BMR would be somewhat higher than their current calorie intake.

Mini-christmas project

Over the past 2 days I have made a small project of a snow-scene. It featured falling snowflakes at different times so that every snowflake had a unique speed of falling downwards. It only uses a small amount of code featured on the picture. That piece of code was duplicated in all of the 4 sprites. The code was basically making the sprite fall down at different speeds forever. So that meant all 4 sprites fell down forever at different speeds.

Editing a Python Quiz

Today, I learnt how to make an "if" statement in Python when I was making a quiz. I also learnt how to make simple calculations and questions like "What is your name". I would reply with my name and it would reply back with a message. I learnt how to use the "#" command. The # command basically creates notes for the person doing the quiz.

The Test (w/ Screenshots)

Here are the tests:-

Test 1:  The program must have clear instructions for the user.

Test 2: The program must be error-free

Test 3: The program must have meaningful variables.

Test 4: The program must be documented well in the blog so that I can come back to it at a later date
to make alterations to it if needed.

Test 5: The quiz has to be generated in question number order.

Test 6: The program has to keep a score of all the correctly answered questions.

Test 7: The program has contain a number of broadcasts.

Test 8: The questions should be suitable for the class.

Test 9: The program should be eye-catching.

Test 10: The program should have suitable costumes and/or sprite names.

Quiz Evaluation

I personally think that I could improve my quiz by practicing at home and trying to make the quiz work fluently. Some of my strengths were that I included logical questions that would get the audience thinking hard about the question and attempting to read it 2 or more times to understand it better.

I also think that I could have improved my quiz by asking for help if I need it and contribute more to the topic of quizzes on Scratch because I think that's a big factor.

Scratch Quiz

Our class has been creating the scripts for our character sprite with the assistance of Kerem. We made it so that  the main character says the question for the participant to answer in a text box. It was hard to create at first but we had a rough idea of how to make it and throughout making this quiz it got easier and easier. This is one screenshot of my script for my main character.
